Grand robusto (Edmundo Grueso)

This cigar features a nervy maduro colorado wrapper with a firm feel. The cold draw reveals rich earth and subtle spices, with a good draw.

Tasting after lighting:

The first third opens with wood and light spices. The thick smoke carries a mild piquancy, evoking an autumnal atmosphere. The body is less pronounced than last year.

The second third sees a notable rise in strength, with earthy and woody notes complemented by a faint saline touch. The smoke becomes thick and creamy.

The final third shows little change in flavor but continues to increase in power.

Conclusion from the enthusiast:
Named “Cigar of the Year” in 2022, this Quai d’Orsay remains a solid choice, though recent blends have become noticeably stronger.
